Show the game!!!
Attention: To all people who are covering the video portion of a basketball game. Please learn how to cover a basketball game. When the ball is in play DO NOT show me the crowd. DO NOT show me the cheerleaders. DO NOT feel you have to show me a coach unless he is screaming throwing a chair or punching a referee. DO NOT feel you have to show the back down the floor shot of every player who scores in the game. I just saw him score. DO NOT feel the need to pan the person you are talking about during the telecast i do not need to see him or her. The philosophy of todays camera people is to try and put the audience at the venu. This a moronic idea. IF i wanted to be at the game i would have purchased a ticket. I am in my livingroom watching the basketball game. What i want to see when i am watching the game on my 32 inch television is ................THE FRICKEN BALL.....THE BALL being dribbled the BALL being passed .....The ball being thrown off the coaches Head and most importantly THE BALL going through or not at the basket. I do not need to see any angle other than the angle that allows me to see the BALL. what i care about is the winner or loser of the basketball game. I DO NOT care about mothers fathers aunts uncles horses dogs frogs or any other member of the animal kingdom. Please if you can keep the future programming promotions off the telecast untill a timeout or at halftime it would be deeply appreciated. And one last thing could we please keep the conversations about the game and not the social lives of the broadcasters thank you!!!
